Time returns, on the eve of the Summer Solstice Festival.

"…… What?

A tall metal noise wooded the courtyard of the royal castle.

An instantly released liturgical sword was thrust into Sophie's face, and her sword body tried to be struck in the back of her head in the frightened gap, but a small shield attached to the girl's left hand was preventing it.

"I knew it...... it's fast, but it's not like I can't follow it with my eyes like Mr. Shirley"

Someone who looked like Shirley frowned at the voice and behavior released by someone who looked like Sophie.

That's not the voice of a girl of her age... it was the voice of a boy as young as a mid teenager who had just welcomed an adult.

"Better remember...... if you're Mr. Shirley, you're the one who's going to be the first to worry about your daughter walking out on her own in the middle of the night......" Thief "Crowley!

"Noooo!?

As his little back length swayed like a pneumonia, it suddenly appeared on his left hand… No, a mace concealed by hidden magic is wielded by a lengthened arm at once.

A man with a monocular (monocle) that similarly swayed and revealed himself... Crowley, who faked Shirley's appearance, likewise faked Sophie's appearance... flies Kyle's blow backwards and takes a distance, but a bowgun arrow flies over his head.

"Oops! This is it!

An exact arrow, as if expecting a landing from evasion... but that doesn't work for Crowley either. Reverse your torso and drop off the iron arrow passing in front of you as if you were heartily impressed.

"I took it off!

"I'll take care of it!

Continuously the earth protrudes, forming the Great Jaw and chewing Crowley to pieces. Crowley, in contrast, spread his arms and forcefully chewed his jaw to stop and show.

It's a force that doesn't match your skinny appearance. It is an unthinkable response for a new adventurer like Kyle, such as stopping a rock manipulated by witchcraft with a force equivalent to a large mass and ten bulls, even though it is enchanted by witchcraft, but on the contrary, it had to be stopped with his arms.

"Smart...... there!

"Wow!?

The rays emanating from Crowley's hands crush the rocks and broil out the leia and cood that were hidden in the vegetation and shade.

I guess it's really unexpected from "The Thief" … I have a strong question in my eyes to make me laugh when I say I can afford it.

"I thought it was the chicks I didn't have enough to take, I didn't know they were going to let me out anymore... since when did you realize I wasn't the White Sword Ghost?

"…… three nights ago, when you defeated Mr. Shirley and the Alliance Master."

"Information is always shared with me in conveying magic."

"Holy shit!? A young man like you carries out conveying magic!?

Briefly referred to as transmissive witchcraft, in fact this is an extremely difficult witchcraft. Communicating what needs to be communicated without sound or eyes requires a complete understanding of the extremely elaborate surgical formula that incorporates science and technology, and even those who specialize in magic are not many who can handle convenience backwards.

Especially when sharing information, a technique that specializes in confidentiality that makes it difficult to discern that any kind of genius is activated, the difficulty of meeting them jumps even further. Crowley won't be able to react because the adventurers still rushed to do it.

"I see... so you've been acting the same for the last three days after understanding that I'm someone else? … that means. So you understand that, too? About the identity of my aliens."

"…… manipulation of the person's perception. That's your psychic powers, you pervert."

All information obtained by the five senses is governed by the brain. But what happens if the brain doesn't correctly recognize the information it sees with a vision of everything… it is the same as the misinformation derived by the brain becomes true for the person in question.

Crowley's psychic ability to capture girls without anyone noticing... is to manipulate information from the five senses derived by the other's brain.

Well, if you do, you won't notice if the magic prop sounds an alarm if you manipulate the perception of the guards watching the magic prop, even if it comes from the grand front into the castle where the security magic prop is narrowly installed. Even if you enter a party venue with a dignified target, you will be able to capture the girl from the front if you manipulate the perception of all the humans in the venue.

And all that remains later is the result that the girl was caught while absolutely impossible to commit. Exactly what the two names of "Thief" deserve.

"... while I understand that much, there's no sign that the soldiers are headed here. Apparently there is evidence that Wonderland, an alien magic trick that alters the perception of all living beings within a certain range for my convenience, is working fine, but it doesn't work for you. The moment the information was sent, you applied a countermagic formula to the brain, didn't you?

"…… Come on?

Energetic magic. It refers to one-of-a-kind magic that can only be used by individual activators by combining magic with non-invariant magic similar to semiimmortal (immortal) magic.

If Crowley's words were to be captured on par, his power would be the great sorcery that manipulates the perception of all human beings in the castle, but it would only have expanded the range of the aliens.

The countermeasures themselves have already been established by Shirley. If you apply magic to the brain that prevents interference by magic to prevent the brain from being manipulated, that solves it. But it hurts that the alien magic was completed before I went to tell the other soldiers about it.

Shortly after Kyle and the others got the information from Shirley, "Wonderland" was activated, making it impossible for everyone involved in the castle to correctly recognize Kyle's words.

I tried to delude myself into rolling smoke for once, but it will no doubt already be noticed that Kyle and his enemies are the only ones tonight.

"So what? What if you're just gonna fight me? Three hundred years I've been turning countries against my enemies, a boy and a girl who hasn't lived in twenty years."

"……………! …… its strength is the bluff."

The weight of the years of 300 years. I was about to be crushed by that feeling, but Kyle and the others tried to calmly stifle their minds, restarting their weapons each.

"We are also the adventurers... we can tell by the amount of magic they have left. Even if the Black Sacred Spear is doing something about Mr. Shirley, in addition to sealing the Alliance Master's movements, he maintains so much large-scale witchcraft for so long. You won't be able to afford just enough to use it for kidnapping, and you don't have any more decent magic left to fight? For the past three days, it's good evidence that we haven't noticed our simple phantom magic before, even after failing to see if our perceptions are manipulated!

Even in the current offense, the original Crowley had the power to one-sided Kyle and the three of them. Despite this, the legendary monster launched an attack with the New American adventurers (...). That means nothing more than circumstantial evidence, such as the subtlety of whether there is still enough magic left to deal with the three Kyles.

"In spite of that, it's a mystery that we tried to move to the offense on the eve of the Summer Solstice Festival as per the written notice to discipline... but if you're now weak enough, we can fight it properly.... and"

"……… Hmm!?

The gaze looked at the three men pointing their consciousness upwards as they were, and Crowley, when activated the versatile disarming magic, Dispel, towards the night sky, twisted the light and hid the figure, blue and red, two ghost birds accumulated enormous magic from their open mouths, and shot and unleashed it as a pillar of light in the pursuit of the "Thief".

Three nights before the Summer Solstice Festival. The aftermath of the battle between the White Sword Ghost and the Black Holy Spear, which continued to fight all day long, was gradually sharpened but narrowed in scope, as well as increasing density, forming a dust-free hell that crushed everything entering.

"Shaaaaaaaa!!

The center of a fiercely scattered spark with a metal sound that never stops, Marion, who also threw down the shield, rolls out a thrust that extends to fourteen.

Two shots each to the head, throat, dovetail, belly, heart, lungs, and limbs… an extra-scientific divine technique that ignores the human body structure by aiming for fatal injuries and even sharpening manoeuvre, that the penetration by the riding spear (Lance) is not continuous, but is released at the same time.

"…… mmm!!

Intercepting against it is still a protection to be called divine moves. Shirley, who used two swords to play 14 simultaneous thrusts, unleashes a full thrust at Marion's throat at Igalima, while striking the Shrughana cuttings that turned into snake-bellied swords from behind.

Sandwiches carried out by just one person. Marion, by contrast, did not avoid sideways. That way, at the end of the day, Igarima's obsession would be to turn sideways and break Marion in an instant.

"But what a prick!

Therefore Marion escapes to the top. The black spear, pointing the tip to the ground, stretched its length to the extreme, lifting the body of the black knight with the pattern over it.

How to avoid a disfigured state, utilizing the function of the weapon. But even before that, there is no hesitation in Shirley's next move.

"I caught you."

Running up a black spear standing on the ground, Shirley waves a straight sword of ethereal and red from left to right. The blade approaching from left to right, like a razor blade, accelerates while sliding together like a razor blade by being rubbed. Two knives unleashed a flash of pinching and slashing.

Secret Sword, "Cutting." This move, which combines two flashes in one flash with the principle of "Cutting", is one of the moves used by Shirley to excel in cutting power. Its cutting power rips a large, distant cloud in two, and puts a single letter of scratch on the lunar surface, but -

"… This was a powerful blow with the intention of deciding on a battle………"

"Huhahahahahahahaha! Not yet! You'll still have me hanging out with you, sword ghost!!

What should be fearful is the judgment that instantly derives the optimal solution and the ability to respond to it?

Even though there was no scaffold to kick to move around, the black spear changed to a shape like a tsu. He missed Marion's range of slaughter as he twisted like a willing tentacle.

And in the next moment, it changes to a Partisan-like shape, a spear quite spontaneous to the shape change as it releases countless tweezers and thrusts with a slight gap after Shirley's attack.

"... cum!?

Intercept instantly. Shirley's arm, which she tried to respond with two swords to ask about the next opportunity, is struck by the feeling of being inadvertently paralyzed.

What was created by it was too short a gap. But that slight gap, which was created between the spears, was too much for Marion.

"What's wrong, sword ghost!? Is that the limit of your health already!? I'm just finally warming up my arms!?

The increased intensity of the wall swept away the fibers by plundering Shirley's clothes. I managed to avoid being plundered and consuming excessive health and magic, but Shirley figured out exactly what had happened to her and shed one cold sweat from her forehead.

(........................ that's not good. Because the daughter ingredient has not been replenished for a whole day, the withdrawal symptoms......!

If you take one wrong step, there is only death. Even in such a death fight, the parental idiotic temperament immersed in the soul and spinal cord was resentfully honest.
